Spring2012StencilHop-500
Today's stencil hop is by far the biggest one yet!  But man, the talent is going to blow you away!  Here are the six amazing women who will dazzle you today:

  • Diana Trout: Diana is the author of Journal Spilling: Mixed-Media Techniques for Free Expression.  Her colorful blog is full of journal pages and a smattering of stitching and crochet.  Don't miss her free online Watercolor Primer or her hour-long instructional DVD called "Playful Paper Backgrounds."
  • Karen Grunberg: Karen is one of those "do it all" women.  She works for Google, has two adorable boys, exercises, blogs daily, is on the design teams for Maya Road and My Mind's Eye, and teaches online classes through Big Picture Scrapbooking.  And she's super nice!  She really is amazing.
  • Christine Urias: Christine is the host and producer of Scrap Time — a web based video show that shares product reviews, tutorials, and lots more.  Christine is always experimenting with new supplies and new techniques!
  • May Flaum: May is the author of two books: Scrapbook Workshop and Paper + Pixels.  Be sure to check out her free online eight-week blog class, Camp Scrap, this Summer!  Camp starts on June 11 and you won't even need bug spray!
  • Ali Edwards: Ali is probably the person who has most influenced me on my scrapbooking journey.  Her commitment to capturing the little bits and pieces of every day life and her eloquence in expressing herself are always inspiring to me.  She is the author of many books including A Designer's Eye for Scrapbooking.
  • Alisa Burke: Alisa is an amazing artist.  She is the author of two books: Sew Wild and Canvas Remix.  Her blog is always full of candy colored doodles and insanely clever ideas — many of them involving upcycling.  It has been inspiring and encouraging for me to watch how Alisa juggles motherhood with her artful career.

 Each of these ladies was given the Stars & Circles stencil to play with:

Stars&Circles
As the name suggests, it does have a bit of a Patriotic feel.  So I made a collection of 4th of July cards!

AllCards-wm
GessoCard-wm

I used Super Heavy Gesso to add the three stars and circles to a piece of watercolor paper.  Then I added layers of Distress Ink and watercolor — the gesso resists both (simply wipe with a damp cloth).

I used the techique I shared in last week's video on this card.  I simply pressed the dirty stencil to the watercolor paper.  Once it was dry, I enhanced the color with Distress Ink on both sides.

GessoCard-wm
GessoCard-wm

The size difference on this card is because I used the 6×6 stencil instead of the 12×12.  I sprayed two colors (blue and red) through the stencil.  Once it was dry, I helped the color blend along with some Distress Ink.  I think this might be my favorite of the cards!

GessoCard-wm
GessoCard-wm

I sprayed through the 12×12 version of the Stars & Circles stencil and used some Distress Ink to enhance the colors.  Then I cut the paper into star shapes (using this stencil).  Before I stitched them down, I used some very light colored Distress Ink and the 6×6 version of the stencil to create a subtle background.

GessoCard-wm
I also made some lined envelopes to go with my cards:

I love the look of a lined envelope.  It's really nice to open an envelope flap and see something so pretty staring back at you.  If you the watch the video, you can see the how-to:

  • My all-time favorite tutorial is a series posted by Teesha Moore on making her 16-page art journals using one large sheet of watercolor paper. http://www.teeshamoore.com/techniques/pages1.html
    It was the first journal video I ever saw, and I have the steps memorized! This tutorial really made art journaling more affordable for me, and therefore more accessible.

  • Picking my favorite tutorial is tough. There are just too many to pick from. I guess my FONDEST memory of a tutorial is when I was just exploring art journaling and took an online class called soul restoration over at brave girls. Melody Ross has some videos on how to use supplies that makes me laugh every time I think of them. I still hear that music in my head!

But here is a link to one that hasn’t been mentioned – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e-Yoi856w8 which is Jennifer Mcguire showing twinkling H2O technique. All of her tutorials are great for techniques to be used on cards especially.

There’s always so much to LEARN. I feel like I don’t really learn in my day job, but in my crafting, I am always learning and growing.

Lately I’m loving Dyan Reavely’s videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m25lxe_aBLM for her ghosting technique.

  • Hi Julie, I sure love your stencils. I now own 25 of them. The first tutorial that popped into my mind when asked this question is the series by Teesha Moore on how to make her 16-page journal and the accompanying video sets for embellishing the pages. I’m very happy to learn you are writing a book and can’t wait to buy a copy when it’s published. Good job!

  • YIKES…Julie!! There is no way I can pick just one tutorial…I’m a total tutorial junkie. My current…in the last couple months would have to be your stencil class. I learned so much and it really got me started art journaling. After that…there is no way I could choose just one.
    BTW…LOVE the cards you’ve made with the Stars and Stencils…er I mean Stars and Circles…LOL!!!

  • My FAVE? Oh, wow. You know that’s almost an impossible question. I search for them and watch them all the time – that’s a major mode of inspiration for me. I LOVE love love all of yours, Julie. I love what you make and I love your teaching style. I think one of the most remarkable ones, though, was from Tim Holtz’s Creative Chemistry Class when I found out the capabilities of all the distress inks. Like, WOWWWWW. Of course, I can’t share that link, but it rocked my world. I learned SO much from those classes!

They used an article from Somerset Memories as their inspiration.It combines painting on canvas with photographs. I have done several of these now. It makes a truly original gift!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88dOtI4Icac

Some of my favorites: Yours of course, Teesha Moore, Dyan Reaveley, Paula Phillips, Tracy Bautista, Donna Downey, Jane Davenport and MaryAnn Moss!! I wish I had all of the time in the world to sit, watch, soak everything in and then go play. But, life gets in my way on a regular basis. Maybe one day soon!?!?!?

  • Their is so many wonderful artists on the web. It would be to difficult to choose only one technique. I simply can’t. And through your blog, we always discover new people’s artwork. Over a certain period of time, I found a lot of great techniques over the web, sometimes they become my new favorite and shortly after, I find another one, and I lost track of it. I need to get organised. I love your blog and videos and your an artist that I always come back for inspiration. Thank you for all that you do for us and have a nice day,

  • Their is so many wonderful artists on the web. It would be to difficult to choose only one technique. I simply can’t. And through your blog, we always discover new people’s artwork. Over a certain period of time, I found a lot of great techniques over the web, sometimes they become my new favorite and shortly after, I find another one, and I lost track of it. I need to get organised. I love your blog and videos and your an artist that I always come back for inspiration. Thank you for all that you do for us and have a nice day,

  • I love tutorials and can’t wait to click on the links in others’ comments! My favorites are by Noell Hyman at http://www.paperclipping.com/. I think it’s interesting how we respond to different teaching styles depending on our own learning styles. My other favorites are Glitter Girl tutorials at http://www.shimelle.com/ and Julie’s tutorials. I have gotten hooked on Scrapbook Soup. I like things that move along quickly but are easy to follow in the process. Tim Holtz’ tutorials are great for the same reasons.

  • My favorite tutorial was yours! Well I’m not sure if it would be a tutorial or a class :o).
    All About Faces ebook was the bomb! Actually it’s been about 3 months since I downloaded it and I still to this day refer back to it!
    If anyone wants to learn how to draw faces..this is just what they need.
    Thanks for all you do!

  • I love Dina Wakley’s creative jumpstart video – it sounds like such a simple concept and it is… but it really works! I’m much more creative in general when I keep to my “warm up” routine.

  • Great stencil-added this to my wish list. Your cards are gorgeous! There are so many tutorials that are terrific (Natalie’s Jump Start series, Tim Holtz and of course all of yours-you get the best music in a tutorial award!). But my favorite has to be by Journal Artista on Ustream “Featuring Artistcellar Stencils”. I tried this with your 6 and 12 inch Chevron stencils and it was BEE U TI FULL! Thank you for the chance to win.
